ubuntu 8.10 on client side - Maybe success

[Adrian Gibanel Lopez]

I think I have managed to server an ubuntu 8.10 from an ubuntu 8.10. But I
have some doubts.

If I read the manual for demohost instructions (quick instructions):

• If the installation has finished successfully, the computer
should boot a small Debian
system. You can login as user demo or root with password fai.

But this is what I get:

    Sun Nov 30 19:58:29 UTC 2008
    The install took 537 seconds.
    Calling task_chboot
    Calling task_test
    Will be implemented soon
    Source hook: savelog.LAST.source
    ERRORS found in log files. See /tmp/fai/error.log
    savelog.LAST.source  OK.
    Calling task_savelog
    Calling task_faiend
    Press <RETURN> to reboot.

If I press CTRL+C and I open with vim /tmp/fai/error.log here there are
its contents:

    dmesg.log:[     0.000000] WARNING: at

    fai.log: No candidate version found for sysutils

Have I been successful or not? What would be my next step so
that the machine boots from network but does not perform an install?

fai-chboot -o demohost

perhaps?

I have tried to boot it and I have many mount errors because of folders
that does not exist.

If you need more information please tell me which one.
